Gwar is a heavy metal band formed in Richmond, VA, in 1984. The band is best known for its elaborate science fiction/horror film inspired costumes, obscene lyrics and graphic stage performances, which feature humorous enactments of politically and morally taboo themes. Their grotesque costumes make them easy to identify, and their science-fiction mythology theme only adds to the band portrayal of them being warriors.

Riding the crest of the 90's revival, Save Ferris are back with a new tour this year, bringing their ska-punk sound to North America. Reinvigorated a new incarnation led the intimate frontwoman, Monique Powell, fans can expect to bop to group's back catalogue alongside what Powell calls a return to her ska and dub roots!
